Wayside Cross – Master’s Touch Ministry:
Shelter, Transitional Housing and
Recovery Program for Men
Master’s Touch offers life-transforming men’s shelter and a comprehensive, six-month residential recovery program for troubled lives that are out of control as a result of drugs, alcohol or some other destructive behavior pattern.
Our Bible-based, Christ-centered recovery program and shelter for men is designed to help participants recognize and break the chains of self-destruction. Individuals are further strengthened through comprehensive discipleship with our staff and a one-on-one mentoring program facilitated through local church partners.
Here, successful graduates can choose to stay for up to two years, finishing their GED’s and work-training programs. This also provides enough time to save their income once they gain employment to find permanent residence.
The Master’s Touch program helps each individual confront life-controlling problems and empowers men to experience transformational change through free:
- Shelter and Recovery
- Biblical Counseling
- Spiritual Development
- Self-Confrontation
- Biblically-Based Discipleship
- Work Rehabilitation
- Education and Training
- Transitional Housing
- Individual Mentor Relationships with Members of Local Churches
Food, clothing, and a physical fitness facility are also provided free of charge while seeking employment
Our program also offers Phase 3 and Phase 4 extensions to qualified graduates to seed and strengthen their recovery while building a wider network of individual and community support systems. This is intended to fortify independence and life-long transformation. Phase 5 extends affordable housing opportunities for qualified graduates to continue their journey of independence.
Finding a light in the darkest of times.

Proud Member
These days, Lark has gained some really good friendships at Lifespring. She appreciates that there are people in the program that she can share her struggles with, like a resident named Rica, who is very knowledgeable about the Bible. “She’ll quote me things and talk to me.” She has helped Lark through some tough times. Women in the Lifespring program all come from different walks of life. Lark shared, “But we are all here for the same reason. We’re broken, and we need help. We need God! We are here wanting to know how to be put back together…but for the most part we are a family.”
We embrace all people with the compassion of Christ
